The news that Emgrand Group had blacklisted the Wilson Group spread around Aurous Hill quickly.At this time, everyone in Aurous Hill already knew that the Wilson family was finished. News that the old lady had been admitted to the hospital as soon as she heard about the fate of the Wilson Group also spread very quickly.Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob, was not even surprised when he heard the news.He calmly told his daughter and son-in-law, “My mother has always been like that. She has always felt the need to control other people throughout her entire life. It was only a matter of time before she suffers from her own actions! There is no need for us to feel sympathetic at all. We should give her some time to reflect on herself in the hospital. Perhaps she will finally understand what she has done wrong in her life!”Charlie was relieved because it was rare for Jacob to finally look aside when it came to matters related to his mother.After heaving a sigh of relief, Claire began t
Who was this unfortunate person who actually had so much money to be fooled by this profiteer?Charlie could not help but ask Jacob, “Who did Zachary sell those pills to?”“I’m not sure. Zachary told me that he had to maintain his professional ethics and keep his client’s information confidential.”After he was done speaking, Jacob shook his head before sighing. “Zachary gave me the five hundred thousand dollars and told me that he was doing me this favor to honor you. I tried to give him some commission for his hard work, but he refused to accept any money from me. He is really a very talented salesperson, but it is a pity that he is a swindler. I advised him to try to make a living by getting a decent job.”Charlie shook his head. It was completely impossible for Zachary to change his occupation!He had already been a swindler trading in antiques ever since he was young, and it had already become a habit for him. If he had to work a decent job in an office, he would probably giv
The Moore family was one of the top families in Aurous Hill.However, the Moore family could not be compared to the Wade family in terms of their status or prestige. Jasmine did not know about Charlie’s true identity, and in her eyes, Charlie was just a young man who had some skills and abilities in antique trade as well as some knowledge on metaphysics.When Charlie had called for the Thunder Order and used thunder and lightning to strike Jack to death at the White family mansion, he had indeed scared many people to death. Therefore, everyone regarded him as the master of metaphysics. However, Charlie hid the truth from Jasmine and intentionally told her that everything was just a coincidence. After all, how could an ordinary person like him actually call for thunder and lightning whenever he wanted to.Hence, Jasmine was also very confused and thought that Charlie was probably just really lucky.Ever since that day, Jasmine disappeared from Charlie’s world completely.Charlie
After Charlie went downstairs, Don Albert, who was sitting in the car, quickly beckoned for Charlie to come over immediately. “Mr. Wade, get in the car!”Charlie nodded before walking over to the car quickly. Albert started driving as soon as Charlie got into the car and then headed toward the outskirts of the city.On the way there, Albert suddenly said anxiously, “I heard that a very famous and reputable Feng Shui master will also be coming from Hong Kong today. Mr. Wade, you cannot let him steal your limelight!”After that, Albert continued speaking. “Miss Moore is the eldest daughter of the Moore family, and she will be taking over the Moore family business soon. If we manage to save her from this predicament, she will definitely take care of us in the future!”Charlie laughed before saying, “Albert, you are not so kind after all. Yesterday, you told me that the reason why you were so worried about Jasmine was that you wanted to repay her grandfather’s kindness. However, now yo
Even though the butler obviously despised Albert, the latter was not offended at all. On the contrary, he continued speaking to Oscar respectfully with a smile on his face. “Look here, Uncle Oscar. The issues that Miss Moore is facing are getting more and more severe. All of us are worried about her! Moreover, we can’t be certain that Master Lennard from Hong Kong will definitely be able to resolve the problems that Miss Moore is facing.”Upon hearing that, Oscar replied coldly, “Do you really think that you will be able to find anyone as capable as Master Lennard? Please leave immediately. You will never be able to pay the Moore family back for their losses if you interrupt Master Lennard while he is reading Miss Moore’s Feng Shui for her!”Albert scratched his head anxiously because he did not expect Oscar to stop them from entering the villa. If Oscar refused to let them in, how would Charlie be able to help Jasmine?As he thought about it, Albert suddenly blurted out, “Uncle Osc
At that moment in the room, a lean middle-aged man who was wearing a blue shirt was holding a compass as he looked around the room, muttering some words. Jasmine was standing with her back facing the door. However, as soon as she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned around before asking, “Uncle Oscar, is there something wrong?”Oscar hurriedly replied, “Miss Moore, Albert brought Mr. Wade over here to help you look at your Feng Shui.”Jasmine turned around and she was extremely surprised when she saw Charlie. “Charlie, why are you here?”When Charlie looked at Jasmine, he realized that she truly did look a lot more haggard as compared to when he had seen her a few days ago. According to the , there were shadows on her forehead, and it seemed as though something was really wrong with her fortune at this time.Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Albert told me that you were in trouble, so he brought me here to have a look at your Feng Shui.”Just the
When Jasmine heard that Master Lennard had already discovered the source of all her problems, she was very excited and quickly exclaimed, “Master Lennard, since you have already identified the source of all my problems, will my fortune improve after I remove that potted plant?”“Unfortunately, no.” Master Lennard replied with a serious expression on his face. “You should understand that a Feng Shui formation is an invisible formation. Even if you remove the green potted plant, you will not be able to remove the influence that it has left on the Feng Shui formation.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “In that case, what should I do?”Master Lennard replied, “You should place an exorcism transporter refined by a Feng Shui master by the window instead of that potted plant. That way, you will be able to completely eradicate all of your problems, and at that time, your good fortune will continue to flow in from the east!”Jasmine then asked, “What is an exorcism transporter?”Master Lennard qui
Master Lennard quickly put the cheque away before walking over to the window and removing the green potted plant. Then, he placed the chalcedony stone by the window as he continued chanting his mantras. Charlie scoffed as he witnessed this scene.He realized that Master Lennard did not know what he was doing at all. Moreover, he had even caused a catastrophe by making the situation worse than it originally was!From the , Charlie had already studied a strange scenario that was similar to what he was witnessing in Jasmine’s room.He could feel a terrifying Feng Shui formation in this room, and he realized that the Feng Shui in this room was a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’. As the name suggested, even if a dragon was living under this Feng Shui formation, it would also be trapped. If so, how could an ordinary person escape this?Therefore, no matter how good a person’s fortune was, those who lived in a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ would inevitably lose th
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
